Steam's two-hour refund window is silently killing niche indie games
Steam's 2-hour refund policy has been disastrous for indie game sales.

Steam from Valve is an excellent service for people who love to play their games on PC. The application not only has a wide variety of titles to browse through, as well as a lot of deals that happen, but it's very user-friendly to use. One of the perks of playing games through Steam is the refund policy, which allows users to try out games for a set period of time. If someone dislikes their purchase within two weeks and less than two hours of playtime, they can get a full refund for the game they purchased. While this is a great thing for customers, it unfortunately has an unintended side effect that is impacting niche indie games.
